That is not the point. If there is such a demand for using 30 year old lenses 
as you claim, why isn't there any demand for having a DSLR that takes Canon FD 
lenses (with full functionality)? Nothing prevents Canon from making an FD 
mount DSLR that takes the 10 - 20 million FD lenses out there.  The answer is 
that there is no such demand and thats why Canon doesn't bother.
